TEST ANIMALS
- Source: no data
- Age at study initiation: no data
- Weight at study initiation: 2.5 kg
- Housing: no data
- Diet: 200g per animal per day, classic granules (from Sanders)
- Water ad libitum
- Other: rabbits were vaccinated before the test against pasteurellosis and myxomatosis
Only animals with normal eye conditions were selected for the test, any with ocular lesion were rejected.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 22+- 2°C
- Humidity: 55% +- 10%
- Air changes: 12 times per hr
- Photoperiod (12hrs dark / 12hrs light)

IN-LIFE DATES: no data

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: left eye
Amount / concentration applied:
- Amount applied: 100 mg per rabbit
- substance instilled in the right eye (left eye = control)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
7 days
Observation period (in vivo):
7 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 rabbits
Details on study design:
no washing was done
observations of the conditions of the cornea were done with the naked eye with an ophtalmoscop of Heine (Microflex C-00. 13. 101)

SCORING SYSTEM:
the scoring is based on the same parameter and symptoms as in the OECD guideline : cornea, conjunctive, iris and chemosis.
Other parameters were observed in this study like discharge, ulceration and granulation of the cornea.
Then the calculation for the interpretation of the results is slightly different in that the scores are added and a coefficient is applied : 2 for conjunctive and chemosis parameter and 5 for iris anc cornea scores.
As the evaluation is based on the same parameters and symptoms and the interpretations of the results are coherent, OECD calculations are used here.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: hand-slit lamp or ophtalmoscop of Heine.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU-GHS
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test, acide omega amino undecanoique was not irritating considering EU and GHS classifications
Executive summary:

In an ocular irritation test (IFREB, 1978), six male albino New Zealand white rabbits were used. The test substance (acide omega amino undecanoique) was introduced into the animal's right eye, the animal's left eye served as a control. Animals were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored following a grading of ocular lesions similar to that of the guideline OECD 405. The results showed that the substance was slightly irritating. After one hour the 6 rabbits showed chaemosis, discharge, enanthema and congestion reactions. Most of these effects decreased after 24 hr and desappeared totally after 3 days.The scores (mean: 24, 48 and 72 hr scores) obtained for chemosis, redness of conjunctivae, iris lesion and cornea opacity were respectively 0.26, 0.27, 0.11 and 0. Under the conditions of this test, the substance is considered as not irritating according to EU and GHS classification.
